「公共政策」是政府為了處理大眾所關心的議題，而提出的行動方案，其方案的執行、監督、改進等，需要由多個部門或機關通力合作。

"Public policy" is one or some action plans proposed by the government in order to deal with issues that are of concern to the general public.

The implementation, supervision, and improvement of the plans require the cooperation of multiple departments or agencies.

公共政策的形成、執行到評估是一個過程，無法短時間內速成，但也未必都會長達數十年之久。

The formation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies is a process that cannot be completed in a short time, but it may not be as long as decades.

基本上，公共政策包括「問題形成」、「政策規劃」、「政策合法化」、「政策執行」與「政策評估」五個步驟，

Basically, a public policy has five steps: "problem formation", "policy planning", "policy legalization", "policy implementation" and "policy evaluation".

要釐清問題、規劃政策，並制定相關的法令做為依據，每一個步驟(環節)需要多少時間呢？沒有人說得準。

To clarify problems, plan policies, and formulate relevant laws and regulations as a basis, how much time does each step (link) take? No one can say for sure.

關於公共政策的研究，有許多論文的重心是放在「評估」階段，也就是探討一項政策執行後產生的各種影響。

Regarding public policy research, many domestic dissertations focus on the "assessment" stage, which is to explore the various effects of a policy implementation.

公共政策常見的研究方法，包括文獻探討、訪問、問卷、觀察法等。

Common research methods of public policy, including literature,discussion, interviews, questionnaires and observation, etc.

公共政策從制定、執行、評估的過程中，會受到各種因素影響，包括：政治文化、公共輿論、菁英階級態度、立法人員、行政人員、利益團體、政黨等的想法，也可能受到外在因素(如國際情勢)的影響。

Public policies are affected by various factors in the process of formulation, implementation, and evaluation, including: political culture, public opinion, attitudes of elite classes, legislators, administrators, interest groups, political parties, etc., and may also be affected by external factors(such as the international situation).
